The concert will feature Mike Westendorf, a professional Christian artist with an ability to draw an audience into the songs and the moments they describe.

From Milwaukee, Wis., Westendorf has been touring and recording for the past 10 years.

Westendorf is finishing up his latest single “You Are” which will be included on a compilation CD from Creative Soul Records, Nashville, Tenn. His most recent CD, “Emmanuel Has Come,” was released Christmas 2012.

To benefit the Cross of Christ and ACBC food shelves, all guests are asked to bring non-perishable food donations – one item per person. Games and concessions will begin at 3 p.m. with the concert to follow at 5 p.m.
